[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 471465, member: 9775"] Thanks for the extra info benchracer. I am very interested in your build. My rifle is the Hawkeye all weather in a 308 winchester, and I was actually thinking of changing it to a straight 284. So the fact that you went to the 6.5-284 intrigues me. I didn't want to change up to much for fear of function problems, but it seemed to work for you. I will also be using the factory stock for awhile. One day I will get a Richards microfit benchmark thumbhole but I am in no hurry. I contacted a smith willing to work with my Ruger and he uses Brux barrels so I will probably go that route. I already had a local smith work over my trigger, and he did a great job on that so I will be using the factory trigger. The barrel will be 26" in a 1-11", probably a varmint profile (I don't mind some weight to my rifles). It is starting to come together, I may have sold one of my other rifles to finish funding this little project. Kind of getting my hopes up. [/QUOTE]
